post install freezes
by David Mehler 16 Oct '09

16 Oct '09

Hello, I'm doing an unattended CentOS 5.3 install in a virtual machine vmware. I'm redirecting output to a serial console because production boxes won't have monitors. I'm getting to the point of doing the post installation then the box freezes. The only command i have in %post is yum -y update. I'm not getting no output. Suggestions appreciated. In the commands section reboot is explicitly called so that at the end of the install the vm will reboot. Thanks. Dave.

Howdy, I am having time-drift issues on my CentOS VM. I had referred to following documentation: http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/VMWare_Server , however it didn't help. I used kickstart for creating this VM and I am listing important steps in ref to timekeeping issue. Any comments or suggestion would be appreciated. - CS. ------------------- # For EL5 virtual machines, Append the following in Grub to help keep the clock from drifting # and to reduce the interupt requests # 32bit: --append="rhgb quiet divider=10 clocksource=acpi_pm" # 64bit: --append="rhgb quiet notsc divider=10" bootloader --location=mbr --md5pass=$1$mXSD1l6mO$BBCk1gYArAATS7dlCQGthN. --append="rhgb quiet divider=10 clocksource=acpi_pm" %packages --nobase # Other packages not listed here # ntp was installed ntp ### Add step-tickers ### cat > /etc/ntp/step-tickers <<\EOF2 0.centos.pool.ntp.org 1.centos.pool.ntp.org EOF2 ### End of step-ticker file ### -------------------- # Applied patch mentioned on CentOS page # http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/VMWare_Server patch --verbose -b -l -i /root/ntp.patch -------------------- VMware Tools not installed. -------------------- Thanks, CS.

For my boxes in production, I typically run FreeBSD at it seems to be the closest to "Linux world" to keep the learning curve shorter since my roots lie there. It is rock solid and performs well, even on older hardware like my Enterprise 420r. Debian works also although I don't have enough experience with it on SPARC to truly comment. If you're looking for pure usability, *BSD or Debian may be your best bet. If you want top notch performance, you're probably better off with (Open)Solaris. And of course, it all depends on your comfort level. There was Aurora Linux at one time for a Redhat based system running on SPARC. The site is still available although it appears to be largely dead: http://auroralinux.org/ . If you have any other SPARC related issues/questions, you are more than welcome to mail me off-list.

Re: [CentOS] CentOS Digest, Vol 57, Issue 14
by tony.chamberlain＠lemko.com 15 Oct '09

Thanks for the responses. I think this is what I want to do. I commented out #Defaults requiretty in /etc/sudo. But what I really wanted to do was just place it in VPNUSERS: %vpnusers ALL=NOPASSWD: /sbin/service myciscovpn start, \ /sbin/service myciscovpn stop, \ /sbin/service myciscovpn status, \ /usr/bin/mycisco, /usr/local/bin/vpnclient visudo took it but it did not work. Actually if I could just put it in user tony that would be best: tony ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL !requiretty But that gives a syntax error. What is the correct way to specify it? -----Original Message----- > Well, I noticed that ssh/scp probably requires tty and when called > from a script, its not from a tty. > > At least in my case which was drupal calling a script that lauched > ssh, a non tty source. > > I also required running privileged commands. > > Mebbe you don't need all this so check your logs and see what happens. > My last job, I was setting up rsync backups. What I did was create a user, backup, then in /etc/sudoers, have !requiretty *only* for that user. The user was also limited in what commands it could run (in that case, rsync only). Don't forget to log in as that user first, so that you don't get the "Oh, This is a new IP, are you Sure you want to continue connecting?!?!" mark

Problems printing landscapes in AR
by MHR 15 Oct '09

15 Oct '09

I have the L&G (AFAIK) Adobe Acrobat Reader, 9.1.0, on my 5.3 x86_64 machine, but it seems to be incapable of printing some landscape-mode PDFs. I created them by printing some wide graphics (PNG) files to PDF files from the image viewer, and that didn't work - AR prints them ONLY in portrait mode, no matter how the portrait-landscape is set, and no matter how it is displayed. Then I tried converting the graphics to PDFs using Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0 (yeah, I know it's old, but it's free and it works for some things the GIMP won't do, like making graphics into PDFs) on my virtual WinXP SP2 "box" and got the same results. To my surprise, if I just print the PNGs from the image viewer, they print in landscape mode just fine (although they display in pseudo-portrait mode as counter-clockwise rotated images). Anyone got a clue why this might be? I blew away the PDFs that wouldn't print ('cuz I was pissed) but I can recreate them if needed. And, no, I'm not interested in tiff2pdf - it made enormous PDFs (4-10x original file size) out of every TIF I've tried with it, and APE2 makes little ones that are just as good _and_ smaller. Thanks. mhr

Mounting Network Storage Issues
by DTS-Corp (Knowledgebase) 15 Oct '09

15 Oct '09

I have an Iomega NAS 1TB drive that I am using as just kind of a file sharing solution between all of my computers. Of course it is on a timed backup with my server however it just serves as a temporary solution for a bigger problem ( IE 15 different puters of all various OS Flavors). However I am not able to connect to any network storage server such as Windows PC's or NAS Storage using map network drive functions normally used with windows on CentOS. I am wondering if there is something goofy with this or is Cent just incompatible with NTFS network storage drives?
